I do not deny that I have secrets and that they are bad. Your efforts to redirect attention to my withholds away from yours and your Program Operation for Earth is transparent to all but your Happy Camper noodles. When ever a group offers help to an individual, there are usually rules and mores that they enforce, both for their own protection and the protection of the individual. LRH says that auditor takes control over the pc in order to return control over himself back to the pc. This is not a bad thing, it is part of the package that you buy. The group puts the individual into the spirital jail-box of restrained obedient helpee, and itself into the spiritual jail-box of all knowing helper. This is fine as long as the ultimate goal of the help is to regain the being his Sovereignty, and render null and void his need for help, and allow him his own determinism again. The problem comes in when the group starts to run a hidden agenda of attaining immortality for itself through the eternal subjugation of the individual. This group will not sell "Free from the harmful effects of help and free from the need to help or for help." A group for example whose reason d'etre was to help and make a lot of money with that help would put itself out of business selling this. This is the result of weak group members who fear Sovereignty and feel they need the support of the group FOREVER. They don't see the "End of endless help" rundown. They particularly fear that if any one member gets too strong that member will break off and start its own group, which may obviate the need for the first group but which is too advanced for the old members to join. In particularly they fear that the new group may have mores and rules at odds with those of the original group, namely less boxed in and less prone to tithe, thus blowing their cover, schemes and dependency lines, causing the disintegration of the original group. Mores having to do with secrets are particularly vulnerable to disintegration by Sovereignty. There is nothing wrong with self determined secrets, its the other determined secrets put upon you for your own good while you are being helped that eventually run you into trouble once you have outgrown that need for help. The group may not have outgrown their need for help nor their need to HELP YOU and get paid for it, so your own Sovereignty and rewriting of the rules threatens them which then turns them against you. Thus help towards Sovereignty always turns to betrayal and suppression of Sovereignty to the degree that NON Sovereignty is part of the enforced formula for help. To the degree that help can enhance Sovereignty at all turns, and allow others to operate on their own self determinism and pan determinism, then help will not turn into betrayal and suppression of the helpee once he gets near the top. The point here is, that each of us seeks help of a certain kind, and each of us is willing to pay a certain price for that help. If one seeks to be put in a spiritual jail-box by people who know far more than you about how to get out of jail-boxes, and if the jail-box they wish to put you in is better than the one you are in, and if they can produce ongoing and lasting gains and improvements in the jail-box you are in while maintaining the jail-box they have put you in, in order to help you, then by all means such an operation is good for one. For example if an auditor wishes you to stop smoking pot while he audits you, then he is putting you in the jail-box of being straight while he gets you out of the jail-box of being a drug addict. Now if his goal is to get you to where you can take or leave drugs alone without getting addicated, then once you are there, you can shake off his jail-box of being straight and your jail-box of being addicted. But if he says "We are going to help you take or leave drugs alone, but once you are there you must never ever do drugs again" then you know something is wrong. "We are going to help you become totally free, but you must never reveal the secret of total freedom" or be banished from the group forever, is of like ilk. If you are free, who cares about the group, let alone their threats. So what group is going to help you? Such groups gain their fiat sovereignty, immortality and independency, from the eternal dependency of their members. Groups tend to think in double talk and put it in the smallest print that will lay ink on paper.
